What is Africa ?

What is Africa ?

• Africa is a familly
• We live in different houses but we are the same
• So we have the same problems around differents environments
• Conclusion: The pattern of our problems is approximatively the same

Our problems

• Education
• Health
• Social
• Energy
• etc.

Why data ?

• Data can help us awake our spirit
• Data can help us take better decisions
• Data can help us build better plan

A simple demo

devtools::install_github('ebedthan/afrods')
library(afrods)
library(tidyverse)

waf <- economy %>%
  filter(region == "Western Africa") %>%
  select(country, year, `GDP (constant 2000 US$)`) %>%
  filter(!is.na(`GDP (constant 2000 US$)`)) %>%
  unique()

A simple demo

ggplot(data = waf) + geom_line(mapping = aes(x = year, y = `GDP (constant 2000 US$)`, color = country))

For more precision

waf_c <- waf %>% filter(country == "Nigeria" | country == "Cote d'Ivoire" | country == "Ghana")
ggplot(data = waf_c) + geom_line(mapping = aes(x = year, y = `GDP (constant 2000 US$)`, color = country))
